Reiki Energy: A Spiritual Tool

By now, we may all be able (or willing) to agree that Reiki is a form of energy work that is described by practitioners and clients alike as healing, soothing, gentle, intelligently designed and, let’s face it, amazing! Every single day I strive to think about, meditate on or practice Reiki in my daily Life. I fall short often, but on the days that I feel spot on energetically, everything else falls into place nicely. Synchronicity. I love when it happens! 

When I’m on my game, not only do I benefit, but everyone around me benefits, as well.  Those are the days I’m more aware of Presence. I often wonder how many Reiki practitioners over the years have achieved enlightenment or reached higher conscious through utilizing Reiki as part of their spiritual practice? 

When I was initially introduced to Reiki Energy, I held it in the highest esteem and felt Reiki was something one uses only in therapeutic settings. What I mean by that is I treated Reiki as though it was separate from me, the person. Clearly, I revered its divinely guided intelligence; yet, I seldom called upon it, unless it was for someone else’s benefit. I rarely, if ever, thought about using Reiki on a daily basis like people do with prayer, mantras, chanting or meditation.

I was virtually clueless as to how to apply Reiki using it as a spiritual tool. I did not realize that its powerful, cosmic energy could be exceptional in helping myself, my plants, my pets, my children or even my vehicles flourish.

Presently for me, Reiki Energy is like an American Express™ card: I never leave home without it. Reiki is an extension of me and has become an aspect of me in many ways. As time has passed, my energy signature has intertwined with Reiki, much like those model strands of DNA we see in science journals. Reiki energy is the powerful, gentle wizard of wellness that I carry close to my heart and soul. It’s my half-full glass of Life giving water, my lush and loving oasis in the arid, scorching desert of Life.

Reiki Evolution

How did it happen that Reiki became one of the Life saving devices I cling to on a daily basis, much like the Supreme Intelligence (God) and spirituality? How did Reiki become my companion, colleague and caregiver ~ what I like to call the 3C’s? When I was initially attuned in the 1^STand 2^ND degrees of Usui Shiki Ryoho, my Reiki Sensei explained Reiki energy and it’s origins to me thoroughly.

I learned about its powerful essence and was Attuned in Reiki in the old method, which is to say very little information was written down for me. My lessons were mostly ‘word of mouth’, although my Sensei did provide us with her version of ‘Cliff Notes’, which helped me immensely when I energy more frequently.

I sought other Reiki practitioners in my area, but at the time they were few and far between in a small town in Maine. When I did meet others with whom I could share Reiki, we’d meet once or twice with big ideas and plans to ‘start a community support group for Reiki practitioners’. Our ideas, like our meetings, dwindled over time what with Life happening all around us. I was a single mother raising my preteen children virtually alone. I also worked full time as a mental health practitioner. Free time was a luxury that at that point in my Life felt light years away.

Today, over twenty years later, my connection with Reiki healing energy is the anchor that keeps me connected to Mother Earth as I explore higher realms of Consciousness. Today, the Reiki Principles apply wholly to my every day Life. Reiki keeps me grounded and connected to Mother Earth. I’m eternally grateful that Reiki sought me out in this incarnation and connected once again with my soul.

Bright Reiki Blessings to All!

Balancing Global Energies with Reiki

Gaia Changes

The planet is fast approaching the end of one cycle and preparing to enter into a new one, and as this new cycle approaches, we are experiencing unprecedented global unease and civil unrest. Gaia seems to be erupting and responding in accordance with the current climate of unrest amongst her occupants, as earthquakes like the one in New Zealand last week decimate areas where activity previously has been suppressed. The Costa Rican News reported in an April 2015 issue that there has been a 39.8% in earthquake and volcano activity in recent years (Cite)

Our Collective Consciousness

Currently, our dark, angry Shadow collective consciousness is being reflected back at us even as we strive to raise our vibrations and the vibrations of the planet. Shifts are taking place on conscious and unconscious levels, and the most evident and prominent misaligned energies are those of greed for money and/or power, injustice, misogyny, patriarchal paradigms, racial prejudices, hatred and various imbalances on all levels. Light workers are being called to assist in helping to bring the misaligned energies of Gaia and humanity back into balance through Love, Compassion and conscious, light-filled, diligent hard work. The Feminine Principle is rising to bring back to humanity a gentler, more loving and accepting paradigm. But the dark energies of misogyny, hatred and greed are threatening to quash the Feminine Principle even as she rises. We are being called to help heal ourselves, and to assist in healing everyone who chooses to be healed at this important time. Prayer is powerful and many of us know that prayer works miracles. But simple prayers are not enough to bring our planet back into balance.

 What We Can Do

As Reiki practitioners, we know how powerful and healing energy can be and is. Reiki Energy is one of the most effective and powerful healing tools that humanity has been gifted in the last hundred years. It can and will help heal the misaligned energies that have been unleashed on our planet and on all of humanity. As Reiki practitioners, it is our duty and responsibility to begin this process of healing as soon as possible. It is imperative that we all begin forming Reiki shares and circles, and teaching Reiki to others who share in our collective vision for a stable, peaceful and loving planet. It is our responsibility to teach others to channel this powerful, healing and precious Reiki energy to humanity, to Gaia and to all sentient beings.

At this crucial time in history, we are being called forth to join with others of like Mind and to work together for the continuity of humanity and Mother Earth. We are being urged to offer our services to those who are interested in learning Reiki because it is imperative and crucial to our futures as human beings and to our planet, Gaia. Reiki Master Teachers would be doing right by humanity, by the Universe not to charge exorbitant fees for our services during this process. Rather, we can participate in the healing of humanity and the planet by accepting donations or bartering our services with others in exchange for teaching and attuning others to Reiki. It is imperative that we make Reiki energy available to ALL who are interested in learning to channel it, and if that means offering 10% of our services at no charge, then so be it. It is also imperative that we teach our Reiki students to use this powerful, healing energy to heal Mother Earth and assist in raising our own vibrations, as well as the vibrations of humanity and Gaia.

 Light Workers & Healers Unite

As light workers and healers unite around the globe to raise our vibrations and the vibrations of Mother Earth, we will also be helping ourselves and our family members and our friends in the process. Let’s make this commitment to each other, to ourselves and to humanity to begin our collective healing process. The time to begin this collective process of healing is NOW. We have never been more ready or more in need of healing than we are at this current time in the history of humanity.

Thank you Reiki Angels, Reiki Avatars, Reiki Masters and Reiki Grand Masters! We ask that all powerful, positive energies surround humanity and the entire planet at this time.

Reiki Blessings to all!
